I have been competing with Microsoft for 30 years and one thing they have never done is to play fair. There is a reason why we are joining with others to get this right.
This is an article I wrote 3 years ago:

@[email protected] considering the fact that Vivaldi is the only decent chromium-based browser available on linux, yeah, I’d say you’d trash them on a leveled play field; but fighting on their home is crazy when they can pull stuff like this without any repercussions. I doubt Google will actually be forced to sell anything for example; Microsoft already avoided that fate years ago and Apple is untouchable for some unknown reason (at least in USA)
@[email protected] , we do not have much of a choice. We aim to support our users wherever they are. Thus we support all major platforms today.
We will have to see how things pan out. I do believe regulators play an important role. They do make a difference.
We can also make a difference. All of us. Public opinion matters.
